I assume this means you boot with grub's knetbsd command.

Hmmm. On my Alder lake laptop, the resolution from grub does carry to
wscons. How do you set the resolution in grub? I boot as follows:
insmod ufs
insmod part_gpt
set gfxpayload=2560x1440,1920x1080,1024x768
set root=(hd1,gpt2)
knetbsd /netbsd --root=dk1
boot
P.S. I don't actually know anything about NetBSD graphics, but I have
managed to get this to work.
